Vinobusiness | Isabelle Saporta

In the vineyards of French winemaking, behind the prestigious labels of our bottles, an unforgiving French version of Dallas unfolds with its rivalries, deep-seated hatreds, intrigues, and underhanded tactics. A tragicomedy revolving around a speculative whirlpool, where a handful of cunning and rival winemakers wage war, where the pesticides used seem far more harmful than we are led to believe, and where the classification of grand cru wines remains a mystery. But shh... because our wine conceals colossal stakes. Like a true red gold, it has become the modern oil sought after at indecent prices by big industrialists and Asian investors, under the benevolent gaze of our public services. An unprecedented investigation into one of the glories of our heritage, protected by a code of silence that withstands all scandals.
